Whether you see yourself as "fat" (and which of us don't at some point of every month?) or not, you will revel in the reality and awe-inspiring gusto with which this book is written!
I couldn't put it down...yep! Read straight through...laughed and cried my big ole butt off! It is possibly better than her first book, "The Fifth Goddess"! (Please note: I said "possibly").She tells it like it is! She lives it like it is, and how I want my life to be! NO FEAR...NO self-imposed LIMITATIONS...just LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST! It doesn't matter what physical size you are....this book made me want to be a "FAT GIRL"! A woman who is FULL of life, FILLED with the possiblities and doubts that fill us all...Inspiring and a HUGE reality check for ALL of US! There isn't a person in the world I wouldn't recommend this book to! What a talented author! I can't wait for her next one! YOU ROCK Staci...ROCK ON!

You don't have to be fat to love this book of about finding yourself and standing up to the challenges and judgements of everyday life. I was in tears with laughter at some of the parallels I found in my own life. Read it - you will love it no matter who you are!

Wow, the pain was layers deep in this book. On the surface, Giletta Montrose is light-hearted and a great sport about her many challenging assignments (as a fat girl) as the star of a reality TV show. As she smiled and breezed her way through life, I felt her pain. Staci Backauskas has a way with the written word - injecting raw emotion and pure pain into every day situations that normal sized women take for granted.

Staci's "easy to get into" writing style...has each chapter beckoning you to read on just a little further until you're so deep into Madison and Gilletta that you just can't put the book down.

I highly recommend this book. And it didn't come packed with the usual "I figured it all out" ending. I was surprised and delighted with the way it all turned out. This was a delightful, inspiring, surprising yet painful story told with grace and a fabulous sense of humor. Another great book by Staci Backauskas. A great read for women of all shapes and sizes.
